Abstract
Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. In most cases, Basal Cell Carcinoma predominantly occurs on the head and neck, but it can also develop in the body or extremities, although this is rare. The primary risk factor for Basal Cell Carcinoma is UVR (Ultraviolet Radiation) from sunlight. UVR can occur when the skin is exposed directly or indirectly to UV rays, especially in individuals with indoor or outdoor activity habits. Objective: This study aims to determine activity habits and the malignancy level of Basal Cell Carcinoma in patients at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya from 2020 – 2022. Methods: This research is a descriptive study with a retrospective approach, using medical record data from Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya from 2020 – 2022. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Results: There were 71 Basal Cell Carcinoma subjects with outdoor activity habits, 43 of whom were affected by stage 2, while 28 subjects with indoor activity habits were affected by stage 1. Conclusions: This can be caused by several factors, such as the duration and intensity of activities that allow exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the speed of treatment when lesions appear, and the history of surgery.
